During this workshop you will explore the fascinating and extraordinary world of Indigo blue from plants. You will make yourself an indigo based set of art materials including genuine indigo inks, paints, pastels and artist’s crayons. You will learn how to add other plant and earth colours to indigo to create spectrums of colour, and you will go home with a range of your own art materials, unique to you.
Famously the original colour of blue jeans, there is so much more to the story of indigo and alongside crafting with indigo, you will learn about the many different plants that produce indigo, the considerable history of cultivation and the use of these plants by different cultures over thousands of years.
As well as going home with your own hand crafted range of indigo based artist materials, you will be given notes and recipes for to continue these beautiful crafts at home.
We use only organic indigo from Tarai blue indigo farm in India in our indigo art materials. This project grows, harvests and processes Indigo tinctoria in time honored ways, giving fair work to local crafts people.

About the Artists
Old Mill Arts is a Dumfries and Galloway-based, multidisciplinary learning project aiming to empower creative capacities both individually and collectively. In their studio, through workshops and during projects, Lucy and Edward explore the hidden profundity of hand-making creative materials. Through practising and sharing these age-old crafts, they hope to remember parts of shared culture eclipsed by mass production, and to celebrate the rich history of the handmade arts.
